I have been looking for the Paleochef Decaf Unicorn Fuel recipe for months now. I keep saying I need to try this decaf coffee recipe.
The morning hot drink ritual is something that I love and the ladies in my free and private ladies community love it too however is caffeinated coffee better than decaf?
Caffeinated Coffee
You may reap several health benefits from drinking caffeinated coffee or tea. For example, a review published in 2010 in the journal Nutrition found that drinking moderate amounts of caffeine boosts energy levels, increases the number of calories you burn throughout the day, lowers fatigue, enhances performance during physical activity, boosts mental performance and alertness, increases concentration and problem-solving abilities, improves neuromuscular coordination, quickens reaction time, and boosts overall brain function.
Decaffeinated Coffee
While caffeine offers numerous potential health benefits, drawbacks exist as well. Drinking too much caffeine can cause an elevated heart rate, anxiety, depression, increased urination, nausea, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping at night.
Caffeine will activate your nervous system and increase the amount of cortisol in your system. Cortisol is our main stress hormone that communicates to the rest of the body that we are in danger aka stress.If you are an anxious, stress or nervous person, caffeine will worsen your normal system. If you are on a healing journey, having more cortisol in your system will prevent healing.
Furthermore, caffeine can be addictive and suddenly cutting it out of your diet can cause withdrawal symptoms — such as headaches, irritability, nausea, and drowsiness.
Which is the Better Choice?
In my professional opinion, decaffeinated coffee is a better choice for most people. Given the levels of stress that each one of us is exposed to daily, we do not need to add to our stress load by drinking caffeinated coffee. Reducing our stress levels is something that we should all be aiming for optimum health.
If you want to boost your energy levels without getting the side effects of caffeine, you must try my decaf coffee recipe. I recommend to all my women in my free and private online community to drink decaffeinated coffee to increase the ability to achieve their health goals. I recommended Swiss water decaffeinated organic coffee.
Instant Herbal Coffee Substitute
Another option is to use a herbal tea replacement instead of coffee such as DandyBlend.Dandy blend is made of water-soluble extracts of roasted roots of dandelion, chicory and beets, and the grains of barley and rye. It tastes remarkably like a rich, full-bodied cup of coffee. No brewing is necessary as it dissolves instantly in hot or cold liquid.
Dandy blend is what I use in this recipe however it can be substituted by any tea, decaffeinated coffee or caffeinated coffee. It is up to you!
